SEVEN

[@thegardenofeatin5965]

Yep. In my time as a flight instructor, I've done many laps around the pattern. If there's a flight school of any size at an airport, expect there to be nearly constant light aircraft traffic in the pattern. Three planes is nothing, where I worked we often had five or six in the pattern at any time, I even remember having eight. And that was for one runway. Now, this airport was way out of town, under our pattern was a gun range, a lake, some woods, a swamp, and like ten farm fields. None of that cared about the noise. BTW, most of the noise you hear is actually from the propeller, not the engine. It is *slightly* possible to hush a propeller. Most of the noise is generated at the tip of the blade, where a vortex is formed. Just like a wing, you can reduce the magnitude of that vortex by adding a winglet. On a propeller, they call it a Q-Tip. I've never seen this technology in use on small piston-powered aircraft though, I've only seen it on turboprops. A partial solution to this would be to construct a runway for touch and go practice far out of town. Australia is even more extreme than the United States, wherein everyone lives in four cities on the coast, and the middle of the continent is inhabited only by Clem the Mule Fucker. Build a practice field out in the middle of nowhere, then blast off, head out there all day, then come back.

[@arjovenzia]

I think that's kinda the point, that when the airport was built, it was in the middle of nowhere, but the city has grown. It is pretty inconsiderate of the air school however. In Perth, the main light plane airport is Jandakot, and was once in the middle of nowhere, but now has quite a bit of stuff built up. I dont think every school thats there does this, but I know some of them do fly to other smaller airfields out of town for cutting laps. not sure if its a time of day thing, or individual policy, as it can vary (this is just going of ADS-B data). we also have RAAF Pearce to the north, which is one of the 2 major air force training bases, mainly flying Pilatus PC21's and BAE Hawk 127's. they do most of their exercises out of the city, but I would occasionally see them when I worked up that way. most impressive was a day they were doing formation drills, I think 5 planes doing a pass every hour or so. 5 turboprops in a pack make one hell of a noise.

Really depends on how much the government cares about it's citizens and how strictly it mandates mainaining trains and tracks to keep them quiet.

Its really down to Prop vs Turbine. Props are super loud because there's fewer blades, so the noise of the propeller blade hitting the air creates loud buffeting. Turbines have multiple, smaller blades arranged in parallel that chop the noise up a bunch and 'smooth' it, also the ducting redirects the noise out the back of the engine for the most part. Its the same reason helicopters are so damned loud because the blades are basically beating the air into submission, and the buffeting caused by that just....echoes everywhere.

They could practice landings at different airports at night and take off back to Parafield since it's only the laps that are the real issue. I'm not an instructor, but there needs to be some form of limit so the residents can at least have some peace of mind.

[@ParadoxicalThird]

@@emilchandran546 The solution is that they should not be able to fly at night under any circumstances if the field is within X distance of residential space. Case closed, hands down it should be illegal. Like Wade said, this school opened AFTER residents had lived there for decades. Those residents accepted that the airport would be there, but they did not accept that it would operate a 24/7 training school which began operation only semi-recently. Training schools should only be able to operate at night if they are built BEFORE housing, grandfathered in, or are not flying over already having existed residential property.

[@PBMS123]

They're called circuits, they're basically the first thing you do as a learner, it teaches you about all the different areas of a landing and taking off plane. i.e. you're flying from the gold coast to parafield, you need to know how to join the landing circuit. They tend to do touch and gos, as it allows you to actually practice landing, and instead of stopping after landing, you then power out after you've stabilised the landing, and do another circuit.

The airport in return, changed their runways to allow for planes to come in at a different angle away from houses.

The problem is that most planes are in the region of 50 years old, and have the same type of engine that uses leaded petrol as most cars of the time. Whilst cars obviously get scrapped at younger ages and so leaded petrol can be phased out, this sort of thing just doesn’t happen with aviation, unfortunately.

@@Jeagles airplanes require so much maintenance as they age heavily. My dad had a Cessna 337 and let’s just say the rear propeller was…problematic. After all of the repair and effectively duct taping the thing together between flights, you’d think it would be more cost effective to retrofit these crafts with newer non-leaded engines. Like, if the US can roll out the “cash for clunkers” program, they can afford to push the EPA to enforce strict regulation (like car emissions testing) and reasonably subsidize modifications. It’s an incredibly small percentage of the population but there are so many small airports in residential areas and there is so much pollution produced by these ancient planes that it does effect people’s health. Like…the Cessna 337 was used for military reconnaissance and firefighting missions…since the 60s.

The "the airport was here first" argument is absolute bullshit. My grandparents lived in Para Hills in the 80s-90s, and air traffic was nothing like this, it was just standard small airport stuff - a wide variety of planes going by at irregular intervals. Most residents found it kind of interesting, because the sheer variety of single prop / twin prop / vintage planes that used Parafield Airport. Watching biplanes fly over as a kid was pretty rad.

[@SlightlyNasty]

The population aren't the ones using the airfield, they use Adelaide Airport. The noise from Parafield is almost exclusively from the flying school, and I assure you that the people who can afford to go for a pilots' license probably aren't living in the Northern suburbs.

[@SlightlyNasty]

@Casper's Studio That's a facile argument. The airport and the homeowners both have joint interest in the area, and it's normal for local governance to establish reasonable boundaries for what is acceptable for all parties. The much larger Adelaide Airport has curfews and restrictions in place for this very reason, as do most airports that overfly residential zones. Continuous, all-day flyovers by low-flying prop trainers would not be considered reasonable by most people.

Re: "Has airplane engineering peaked and we can't improve this?" Well, no, but also no. When people say "The propeller makes that sound", what they mean is that you're hearing the sound of the blades cutting through the air. It's the _exact same noise_ as a box fan, but louder, since the blades on a prop aren't 10" (25cm), they're something like 3-4ft long (100-130cm). There are insane advancements in aircraft design, engine manufacturing, and the like; but despite propellers getting more and more efficient as time goes on, there's an upper limit to the level of noise reduction available for what is essentially a long stick being slapped against the air.

When you think about it, it makes sense the prop planes are so much louder. Jet engines are entirely contained in the shroud, and most of the air that's carrying the sound is getting blasted out the back of the engine at a few hundred kilometers per hour, meaning most of the sound gets directed straight back and not toward the ground. Props, on the other hand, are completely open, and the air coming out of them isn't going nearly as fast, meaning that the sound gets to freely travel wherever it likes.

[@hedgeearthridge6807]

I grew up near an Interstate Highway in the US, especially in the winter when sound travels further, it always generates a constant and quiet roar, and I love it. It's comforting white noise to me, and where Im buying a house is even closer, which is no problem to me. But the planes, I couldn't imagine that. Inconsistent, obnoxiously loud, even shaking the building occasionally. Like for me, once in a great while some C-17s will fly directly over the house, at night, at low altitude, doing manual navigation exercises (yes, following road maps in a C-17). Rattles the whole house and shakes you out of bed. It's super cool, but that's because it's rare. If it was every day and night, you probably couldn't pay me to live here any longer.

A. Time. New warehouse looks promising though!

[@thepinkplushie]

When you live on a major road, you do literally start to block it out as white noise because its so reliable and consistent, and isnt an abrasive noise. Highways are a different story but I'll leave my hatred of NA-style city design for another time. Prop planes however, are impossible to drown out as white noise. Its an irritating, grating noise that is louder than any natural noise. I grew up extremely rural, so moving to a major street in a large city took adjusting. But the thing is, even on the busiest days I can sit in my back yard, which is not more than 30 meters from the road I'd say, with no sound barriers whatsoever, and the wind through the leaves and the birds chirping are more at the forefront than the cars. In my hometown, which ironically was near a common flight path to the city I now live in, any time a prop plane flew over it was practically deafening in comparison to the gentle ambience of a rural farm outside harvesting or sewing season.

[@Jeagles]

2:58 basically the way pilots initially learn to fly is landing and taking off again, by approaching for a landing, touching the ground, and taking off again, then flying around a “traffic pattern”, lining up for an approach, and repeating. The laps that you’re talking about are a fixed height and distance from the airport, so pilots sort of have to follow those paths. An airfield near me has a no fly area that you have to avoid because the locals complained but unfortunately your government seems to not really care. The issue with trainer aircraft is that as well as mostly being the Fiat 126s of the sky, it’s the propellor, not the engine that makes the noise, so the noise persists regardless of improvements in technology, whereas jets can keep getting quieter. Sadly, being a GA pilot is either the hobby of the rich or something that has to happen in order to train to fly airliners for a job, and as long as people can be convinced that nothing will change, nothing will. That turned into a massive essay but I’m still going to post it

[@ENCHANTMEN_]

I'm not an expert on anything but I feel like they could probably set up an airfield outside the city that they could practice on, and restrict the main airfield to landing and taking off only. They wouldn't need the full facilities of an airfield since it's only for practicing touching down and taking off again, so it wouldn't need to refuel or service planes outside of occasional emergencies, so it'd be cheaper than just building an entirely new one. Of course, it still costs money, so I'm sure politicians would still say "no"

With the exception of the bi-monthly train coming down from up North that must have been from World War 2 and sounded like a battalion. They ended up rescheduling the arrival time of that since so many people complained. Unless they were new the fire station / hospitals didn't kick on their Sirens until they're a lot further down the road. We actually had a drinking game with a few of my roommates at the time on how often we hear a siren. The airport was the worst offender since when it was originally built it was designed for smaller aircraft. So the noise pollution wasn't as big and thus the neighborhood built itself around it. Then at some point in the late eighties or nineties it became a sort of Mini hub for larger/ recreational planes.

Those look to be Diamond DV/DA-20s and 40s, which are Diesel (so they run on Jet-A instead of Avgas) and combined with a thick prop-bite they are LOUD. Those laps are called "patterns", and (at least here in the USA) they are essential to flight training. Trust me, it ain't fun flying with 10 others in the pattern (when it's clear it's air-time). I learned to fly in rural Texas, where there was no one to be bothered, but I can certainly see how that could get annoying. Unfortunately most of those planes (if the rules are similar to the USA given that Australia is also under the jurisdiction of ICAO) cant fly the fancy long routes as it seems they are newbies flying VFR instead of IFR. A tiny bit of IFR time is required for the pilot's license in the USA, and I can tell ya there's a LOT going on in those routes that these pilots aren't ready for. Glad you could find a new place tho! I'm looking forward to seeing what kinds of nuggets come and go from there. At the end of the day, this is all probably Frank's fault. How dare she not use her powers on the city council to end the madness. (some snakes just want to watch the world burn)

You sure? I saw one of their twin diesels take off and it was the quietest takeoff from an internal combustion engine airplane I had ever witnessed.

[@NomadSoul76]

As a matter of fact I think you have this completely backwards. Slower turning blades are quieter. The pitch of the blade doesn't have that much of an impact. It's why warbirds sound so loud when they pass directly past you, when you're in line with the propeller arc, even though they're not super sonic they're still trans-sonic at the tips and there is the beginnings of a supersonic shockwave being formed. On the other hand for light planes the most sound you hear is from the engine which typically doesn't have a muffler. You sometimes see planes like glider tugs equipped with large muffler assemblies because the engine is the most significant cause of sound.

[@Trogdor390]

Concerning the route at 9:22, I know what that is! That plane likely has a camera on it and is taking aerial photographs for surveying! Very important work, actually.

[@sangan3202]

i love how the government's job is always to fuck over the regular person's life and doing everything in their power to make it worse too

[@aserta]

It's their job to live in luxury they don't deserve, earn money they shouldn't and destroy the lives of the citizens because the only reason they got the job in the first place was the first two. It's becoming more apparent day by day that politics needs a reset, this neo-bourgeoisie needs a capper and severe punishments for crossing the line.

[@DigitalJedi]

I feel this whole video in my soul. I like less than half a mile from a major industrial railway. Ever heard a train horn at 6am? That's how I get up for work! Trains are impossible to drown out. It's grating, loud, booming noise and louder than anything natural. Heavy ones are FELT before you hear them. I get a weekly mini earthquake.

[@aserta]

Man... you had the opportunity to genuinely, purposefully yell at the clouds and you didn't? Such a missed opportunity. So hear this, on cloudy days, you're even more frakked than normal with these low flying bumblebees as the noise they make bounces off them and gets smacked off the ground and back several times.

[@elevatormaniacgames]

Man I feel you. My house was half a mile at most from a small airport. And before that I lived 8 miles from O’Hare international airport. Two towns over was trying to get the flight paths changed. Suffice to say, the home near O’Hare was better because the planes where already high enough to where it’s not that distracting. The one house by a small airport felt like it was barely 100 feet off the ground.

[@madxenomorph]

I used to live 5 miles down range of a major metro airport approach runway (so passenger jets near constantly). I've lived half a block from a freight train crossing that they are mandated to blow their horn every time they use it (fun when you're trying to sleep!). My current house has single-engine planes flying a hundred feet over my house as it's a half-mile away from the approach path (un-towered private airport with only a single runway, 1-2 planes an hour max THANK DOG). I completely understand your pain. (jet noise is better than prop noise)

[@romulas-cushmanproject3273]

I live out by an Air Force base, about 6 miles as the crow flies, and Yesterday and today they had an air show so it was a similar situation all weekend for me. But at least I got to see the occasional F16 or A10 fly overhead But most of the time it’s quite, with the occasional Pair of Chinook passing by

[@imanassole9421]

I feel your pain man. I use to live right next to an airport... Thinking back on it that's probably why rent was slightly cheaper than other places. I just always had a fan running and as many layers of foam and curtains on the window as I could get. Made it slightly better. If it gets real bad throw on a thunderstorm sleep sounds vid from the tube.

Man the Australian Government hasn't had the best track record as of late can't say I'm surprised.

[@woobgamer5210]

[@Contreramanjaro]

Man, I had thought Australia had vast unpopulated areas that would be perfect for flying practice. But nope, circles over a town.

[@salsamancer]

When you're teaching people to sail do you stay near the shore or do you take all the newbies out to the middle of the sea?

[@Controldo]

@@salsamancer that's a terrible comparison

[@SmauugKamui]

@@salsamancer funny enough that analogy is basically what he was saying, would you rather disturb the peace and injure innocent people if you fail or can focus thanks to not having to worry about other people doing their thing. Not to mention comparing flying to sailing is dumb already, the ocean is big but only has so many areas you can technically sail in. You can and we have literally flown over everything, so why is there a need to decide to do it in a place that can not just disturb people but also put them in a lot of danger if you fuck up majorly.

[@nickrustyson8124]

Now here's the thing, Australia does have that, but their unpopulated areas are so bad to live in you have to live underground because it's so hot

[@matheus_ps]

i feel you man, i live near a military base and im always hearing plane noises. its only worth it for the rare sight of a fighter jet, but normally its just cargo planes and shit like that

[@airplanemaniacgaming7877]

Turboprop, regular, or turbofan? I'll give a hint, you can't tell the difference between a turboprop and a regular piston engine when its in the air. Example: I'm quite certain there aren't any cargo aircraft in military service in the western world that run with regular piston engines, as they only use turboprops or turbofans. Why? they have a fully constant power stream, and are becoming better and quieter each year. Hell, both run the exact same basic principle, the difference being what makes the plane move! (Turbofans use hothot gas to _push_ the plane forwards, while turboprops use the hothot gas to spin a turbine connected to a propellor that _pulls_ both air into the engine and the aircraft itself forwards.) Example of Turboprops in service in western countries: the C-130 Hercules, and its *_extremely similar_* European-designed counterpart, the Airbus A400 Atlas.

[@matheus_ps]

​@@airplanemaniacgaming7877 I live in Brazil and the Air Force here uses the C-130, the P3 Orion and the new C-390 Millenium. the C-390 is jet powered but i dont know exacly what type of engine the P3 uses, i imagine it is a Turbo Prop like the Hercules. as for the Fighter jet it is currently the F-5 but it is being replaced by the F-39 Gripen and to top all these planes flying above my home there is a training airport next too, so there are some little Cessnas sometimes, but the majority of the noise are from the big cargo planes lol

[@9999AWC]

Ah, good ol' circuit training! Gotta love it!

[@mellophoneman100]

we have figured out the prop volume, you add a duct, or cowling around the prop tips, and it reduces the noise a ton. however, that is impractical for private aircraft, as the engineering for that increases cost exponentially.

[@ColHogan-zg2pc]

Plus safety concerns of it breaking and striking the prop and blocking visibility but as a pilot that's actually a neat idea, i'd love to see the difference it makes in person

[@damaged_cda4928]
